The TALEGATOR is the perfect addition to any full to mid-sized pickup for the avid tailgating party fan as well as hunters and the casual user who simply wants a comfortable tailgate seat available to them at all times.

Joe Fournier (inventor) has experienced many uncomfortable hours sitting on the tailgate of his pickup at various sporting events with his children. A couple of years ago, he decided there had to be a better way than hauling chairs to these events. As Joe owned a tool and fixture building business, he decided to make a prototype tool to test his better seat theory. The first part he made for his truck was a real hit with all his friends and became a subject of considerable conversation and interest with all who saw this product. A common reaction was "Why did I not think of this". Joe decided this product idea was a winner and proceeded to obtain strong patent coverage and protection.

Now Joe has two business partners who share his vision and passion for producing this product for many others to enjoy. They initially plan to start marketing this product on-line followed by introduction to a number of different distributors for sale in stores.
